According to a report by N12 (Yaron Avraham), a sharp attack has been launched within the Mossad against new chief Roman Gofman, with sources claiming he 'came with a note from Netanyahu' after dismissing senior officials.
Following his dismissal of two senior officials over the failed Iran regime-change plan, Mossad Director Roman Gofman is facing a sharp internal backlash. According to a report by N12's Yaron Avraham, sources within the agency have launched a pointed attack, alleging that Gofman 'came with a note from Netanyahu' and implying that the dismissals were politically motivated rather than purely professional. The report, aired on N12's main evening broadcast, exposes deep divisions within Israel's intelligence community as Gofman moves to reshape the Mossad's leadership. The two ousted officials—the head of the Intelligence Directorate and the head of the Iran desk—had conceived the operational plan to topple the Iranian regime, which was presented to the U.S. president but failed to materialize. Gofman has stated that the two may remain in the agency in other roles, but the public airing of internal criticism marks a significant moment of tension for the new chief.
